Docherty and Gibbs are certain outs from our team last year. We also blooded a number of kids. Armfield played at the end of the season: he is also a certain non starter. That leaves 3 spots before we think about anything as crass as form.
You can go the other way and say we will get Curnow, Cripps and whoever else back from injury too.
It's simply too early to tell and we recruited a lot of mature age players to the club. The likes of Kennedy, Lang, Garlett, Mullett, Shaw, Lobbe and O'Shea would all be AFL ready in terms of body size/shape....but are they good enough to get a game?
Alternatively, some of the new draftees, Dow, O'Brien etc are probably good enough, but do they have the body size/shape to play?
What you'd be best doing is trying to rule players out of the team and see whats left.
Schumacher, De Koning, Polson...

Sure JH, but weren't we discussing prospects for new recruits?

Apologies guys, you are right. I had got caught up in Crash's sub question re new recruits. Harry will indeed be a big chance for R1.

Interesting call from the Age's Peter Ryan:
Quote:The Blues have several candidates to replace the influential and respected Docherty, who was best and fairest in 2016 and finished second in 2017 with Ciaran Byrne, Tom Williamson and Jed Lamb as well as O'Shea among the candidates to fill Docherty's void.
I should add that Ryan states that O'Shea is a rookie :

Fox Sports' Ben Waterworth and Riley Beveridge provide a more considered opinion:
Quote:B: Lachie Plowman, Liam Jones, Ciaran Byrne
HB: Caleb Marchbank, Jacob Weitering, Kade Simpson
C: Ed Curnow, Patrick Cripps, Sam Petrevski-Seton
HF: Darcy Lang, Charlie Curnow, Dale Thomas
F: Matthew Wright, Levi Casboult, Harry McKay
FOLL: Matthew Kreuzer, Marc Murphy, Matthew Kennedy
I/C: Tom Williamson, Paddy Dow, Jack Silvagni, Zac Fisher
EMG: Jarrod Pickett, Sam Rowe, Jed Lamb
OTHERS: David Cuningham, Tom De Koning, Jarrod Garlett, Nick Graham, Patrick Kerr, Sam Kerridge, Matthew Lobbe, Harrison Macreadie, Aaron Mullett, Lochie O’Brien, Cam O’Shea, Andrew Phillips, Cam Polson, Angus Schumacher
ROOKIES: Jesse Glass-McCasker, Kym LeBois, Cillian McDaid, Matt Shaw, Alex Silvagni
LONG-TERM INJURIES: Sam Docherty
INITIALLY, it seemed tough for the Blues to find a replacement for Sam Docherty, who suffered an ACL injury in his first pre-season training session that will sideline him for the rest of 2018. However Carlton will have several ways in which it can fill Docherty’s void, following the acquisitions of Aaron Mullett (trade), Cameron O’Shea (pre-season draft), Angus Schumacher (national draft) and Jarrod Garlett (national draft). Then you’ve got second-year players Tom Williamson and Harrison Macreadie, while Ciaran Byrne is also capable of linking up with Lachie Plowman and Caleb Marchbank. Also, Carlton will be hoping recruits Matthew Kennedy and Darcy Lang can play Round 1, while Paddy Dow will also push for an early debut.

I really hope that Thomas isn't in our best 22 come Round 1. That's not to be disrespectful of Daisy, I'm glad we re-signed him, but I'm hoping that he's legitimately pushed out of the team by one of the younger players. Pickett or Garlett should both be pushing hard for Round 1. Daisy will hopefully be used mostly in the NB's in a role like Armfield had last season leading the younger players, available to come up to the Seniors when injuries occur.
Other than that, I think that best 22 is pretty much spot on.

If Doc's stand-in is successful no doubt we'll have calls to cash in on his value in next year's trading??
